I was watching some reality Hospital show a while ago and a man in his sixties came in suffering severe abdominal pain and was very jaundiced (yellowing of the skin) He had been an alcoholic for years and although he had stopped drinking he had liver cirrhosis, apparently a "friend" had mentioned that carrot juice detoxifies the liver . He then proceeded to juice and drink roughly 400 carrots in less than two weeks. Doctors very quickly realized that he was over-dosing on carrot juice. He passed away from liver failure the next day. His doctor said had he not consumed all that carrot juice he would have lived for many, many more years. So sad, his wife said he was only trying to improve his liver function after all those wasted years of drinking and ends up dying within a year of sobering up.

Loving these types of videos! My dad has always said to me since growing up, do you want to spend money on produce or medicine. Happy Wednesday! 💕💕

I’m still young but I want to continue being healthy! Thank you so much for this series ❤️🙏 so educational!

Another wonderful whole body care video. It’s amazing how many people wrongly think dermatologists are only concerned with acne and call these MDs pimple poppers. Au contraire, dermatologists treat the body’s largest organ. Vitamin deficiencies are systemic and show in the skin too. Never mind being doctors who treat melanoma, an aggressive cancer. Thank you, Dr. Dray.

Thank you SO much for this video. My grandson was born in 2010 with CF and sadly we lost him to CF in 2011 ( the day before his 1rst birthday) due to CF. But because of our little CF Warrior ( of course I have the DeltaF508) I was diagnosed with Gastrointestinal CF which is very rare. When my vit D was first checked it was 7. I have chronic pancreartitis due to the CF. But because of my precious CF Warrior is the reason why doctors were finally able to diagnose me. I take 50, 000 UI (prescribed)a week of ergo and 2, 000 UI a day just to maintain my vitamin D normal. Recently they found my TIBC normal but iron and iron saturation low.(I had a bone marrow biospy/aspiration that showed hardly any iron)
Anyway thank you @Dr Dray for just mentioning CF. Dr Dray, you are a blessing.... I forgot to mention that I have a mutation to my CF carrier gene.

I love these! I admitted someone to ICU recently that the ER thought was a drug overdose but I treated for Wernicke’s encephalopathy based off history. This was the second in 6 months that presented with acute neurological changes due to vitamin deficiency. It’s so interesting to see what effects it can have.

Studying for my FNP boards & forever grateful for your pearls of wisdom 👑 you’re such a gem to this community & your videos are consistently on point & so thorough. Your vitamin deficiency videos have shed light on so many areas, I’ve been sharing them with my friends & family! Keep shining, Dr. Dray! 💞👑 Forever my favorite Dermatologist!

I love these types of videos!!!! I feel like I missed my calling and should have went into dermatology! These types of videos fascinated me! Thank you Dr Dray for all you teach us! 💜

One thing that vitamin A helped me with was my warts. One time when my doctor was casually digging out like the third wart off my finger she mentioned that one of her roommates back in the day was studying nutrition and used vitamin A to help kill her warts. She recommended a supplement and within a week all my huge ugly warts started shrinking away (they looked like plantar warts but on my fingers for some reason)

[nabilanawar]

She is my big inspiration to be a dermatologist.
Thanks Dr Dray ❤❤❤

I was taking a multivitamin and it had Vit A. I started loosing hair and getting dandruff. When my dermatologist found out I takie this supplement, she told me to stop immediately.

Those of us with celiac disease also suffer from malabsorption. Supplements plus an organic whole food diet work like magic!

You see it in patients that have had a Roux-N-Y gastric bypass surgery. My husband (GI PA) found the reason for the blindness in his gastric bypass patient was Vitamin A deficiency.

Symptoms of vitamin A deficiency overlap with Vitamin A toxicity. You can have dry skin, hair loss, slow hair growth, keratosis pilaris, etc. with both deficiency and toxicity. How do you differentiate whether or not you have too much or too little without doing a blood test?

[LUTANGEO]

Such an informative and well explained video! Thanks to you i found out where lot's of my symptoms come from. Thank you! 🙏

Hi Dr Dray. I noticed you mentioned quite often the detrimental effects that alcoholism can have on the body.

I do not drink alcohol ever —never have. I just find it interesting that you mention it often. Alcoholism must be more prevalent than I thought. Thank you for all that you do for us. 😊

Another awesome topic! 😊 I put carrots in our smoothies every single day along with leafy greens. 🥕🧡💚💛

I've had vitamin A deficiency in the past :( It's not that hard if you aren't eating greens!!
